It is our duty to force all mankind to accept the seven Noahide laws, and if not ~ they will be killed." ~ Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg

THE PROPHETS OF OAK RIDGE

A few moments
ago I came across the headline“83-YEAR-OLD NUN FACING 20 YEAR SENTENCE FOR ‘SYMBOLIC’
NUCLEAR FACILITY BREAK-IN”. Now THAT’S guts! So I looked a
little further into the story and found it garnered a great deal of publicity.
But for you, dear reader, I found an especially good version of this
inspirational saga of how just a few ordinary people with extraordinary
determination CAN bring about change peacefully. Sadly, despite their brave
feat, the change was in the opposite direction and the facility’s security
increased. But, they DID make a point of how weak these systems can be!

Last summer,
in the dead of night, three peace activists penetrated the exterior of Y-12 in
Tennessee, supposedly one of the most secure nuclear-weapons facilities in the
United States ~ a drifter, an 82-year-old nun and a house painter. They face
trial next week on charges that fall under the sabotage section of the U.S.
criminal code. And if they had been terrorists armed with explosives, intent on
mass destruction? That nightmare scenario underlies the government’s response
to the intrusion. This is the story of two competing worldviews, of conscience
vs. court, of fantasy vs. reality, of history vs. the future.

CHAPTER 1MISSION

The devil
was just over Pine Ridge.

From the
deserted parking lot on the edge of town, the three servants of God looked into
darkness.

They clicked
on their flashlights, pushed through the initial thicket of brush and began
their trek, aiming for the black wooded slope.

First, the
house painter: bearded, calm, quiet.

Second, the
Catholic nun: gentle, grandmotherly, short of breath.

Third, the
drifter: alert, intense, shouldering supplies.

They crept
across the marshy field, led by some combination of God and Google Maps. Behind
them was the city of Oak Ridge, Tenn., 30 minutes west of Knoxville. On the
other side of Pine Ridge was Bear Creek Valley ~ cradle of the Y-12 National
Security Complex, the “Fort Knox of Uranium,” birthplace of the heart of the
atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima 67 years earlier.

It was, the
house painter would later recall, as if the Almighty were guiding each step,
across 1,000 feet of open field and up an embankment.

By 3 a.m. on
Saturday, July 28, 2012, two career peace activists, with eight years jail time
between them, and an 82-year-old nun had reached the first obstacle in their
two-hour, one-mile hike toward one of the country’s most secure nuclear
facilities.

A six-foot
chain-link boundary fence bordered a gravel patrol road. Strung along the fence
were yellow “No Trespassing” placards threatening a $100,000 fine and up to one
year in prison.

The house
painter gripped a pair of bolt cutters, fixed the jaws around a link and
squeezed. He cut links in three lines, and then opened the new flap.

No alarm. No
patrol cars.

The nun went
through first.

After the
two men followed her, they closed the fence with twine, crossed the patrol road
and began the 40-degree ascent to the dark crest of the ridge. The crime had
started, which meant they were one step closer to justice.

One step
closer to rattling the Department of Energy.

One step
closer to assailing the nation’s storied nuclear identity.

One step
closer to changing their lives and the lives of the people on the other side of
the slope ~ including the first man they would meet once they cut through three
more fences and entered the kill zone..

John
Hendrix, an ascetic who lived in East Tennessee during the early part of the
20th century, was nicknamed the Prophet of Oak Ridge after his death. His grave
is located near the Y-12 National Security Complex. (Linda Davidson/The
Washington Post)

CHAPTER 2

‘… AND THE EARTH WILL SHAKE’In those same woods, around
1900, a middle-aged ascetic named John Hendrix gazed up at the sky and heard a
voice like a clap of thunder.

The
voice told Hendrix to sleep in the woods for 40 nights. So he did. And he had a
vision of the future, according to “The Oak Ridge
Story,” a 1950 book by George O. Robinson Jr.

“And
I tell you,” Hendrix said to his farming community after his retreat, “Bear
Creek Valley some day will be filled with great buildings and factories and
they will help toward winning the greatest war that ever will be. . . . They
will be building things and there will be great noise and confusion and the
earth will shake.”

Hendrix
often summited Pine Ridge, Robinson wrote, to pray over the vista of peach
orchards and log cabins.

“I’ve
seen it,” was his refrain. “It’s coming.”

On
Nov. 11, 1942, decades after Hendrix’s death, a letter from the government
arrived at the home of his son:

“The War Department intends to take possession of your farm Dec.
1, 1942. . . . Your fullest cooperation will be a material aid to the War Effort.”

The
government paid Curtis Allen Hendrix $850 for his 60-acre farm, which would be
overtaken by the Manhattan Project, the country’s race to build an atomic bomb
before Hitler did. Three thousand homesteaders were displaced by the
government, which then built a city from scratch by laying 200 miles of road,
constructing 44,000 dwelling units and importing 75,000 workers: steel men from
Pennsylvania, machinists and woodworkers from Michigan, riveters and physicists
and stenographers and chemists from coast to coast. The 14-square-mile “Secret
City” of Oak Ridge was forested with billboards that said “Keep mum about this
job” and “We will win in ’44 with your help.”

Section at a laboratory in Oak Ridge on Feb. 20, 1950. (AP Photo)

Scores of
East Tennessee high school girls were trained to operate the dials on complex
machinery at the Y-12 site. They didn’t know that each flick of their wrists
aided the gram-by-gram production of U-235, the uranium isotope that can
sustain the chain reaction of fission necessary to create a nuclear explosion.

The science
seems simple enough: When a neutron strikes the nucleus of a U-235 atom, the
nucleus splits and releases thermal energy and more neutrons, which in turn
strike and split more uranium nuclei, and on and on, in an instant, until . . .

The biggest
boom, from the smallest of particles.

Around the
clock for 18 months, the Secret City hummed and hustled. Hendrix, his vision
borne out, was posthumously deemed the Prophet of Oak Ridge. For most
townspeople, the full nature of their mission became clear only in bold
newspaper ink on Aug. 6, 1945.

“ATOMIC SUPER-BOMB,
MADE AT OAK RIDGE, STRIKES JAPAN,” announced the Knoxville News-Sentinel.

CHAPTER 3

SABOTAGE

It was into this land and history that
outsiders intruded 67 years later: Sister Megan Gillespie Rice, now 83; drifter
Michael Robin Walli, now 64; and house painter Gregory Irwin Boertje-Obed, 57.

They,
like Hendrix, had a vision.

They,
like Hendrix, can come off a little batty.

Michael,
though fiercely intelligent, often departs on tirades about the Antichrist.

Sister
Megan, adamant about not harming any living thing, vowed that if they were
attacked by guard dogs inside the complex she would not even raise her hands in
self-defense.

Greg
is so meek in demeanour that it’s hard to imagine him wielding cutlery, let
alone bolt cutters.

Hendrix
envisioned the improbable construction of a wartime city.

Michael,
Sister Megan and Greg envision its improbable dismantlement.

With elbow grease and blind faith, they would make a symbolic incursion to defeat the site’s
$150 million-a-year security operation.

They would mortify the nation’s nuclear weapons programs, which
since 1940 has cost at least $9.8 trillion in 2013 dollars ~ costlier than all
other government expenditures except Social Security and non-nuclear defense
programs, according to nuclear weapons policy analyst Stephen Schwartz’s recent
update of his1998 Brookings Institution audit.

In
short: Nuclear weapons have been the United States’ third-highest national
priority since World War II, in terms of dollars, and we spend a fortune every
year to manage and secure them. Yet a crucial facility in this nuclear
enterprise “wasn’t even nun-proofed,
much less terrorist-proofed,” as a Tennessee congressman would put it in a
February hearing on the break-in, which shut down Y-12 site operations for two
weeks.

This
is how Congress describes the intrusion and fallout:

“Embarrassing.” “Astonishing.” “Unprecedented.”

This
is how Greg, Michael and Sister Megan describe it:

“God’s will.” “Victory.” “A miracle.”

Another
step toward the eradication of immoral weapons.

When
superimposed on the small-town history of Oak Ridge or the quotidian mechanics
of federal Washington, their anti-nuclear beliefs can look heroic or
treasonous. Nuclear bombs are existential weaponry. They ignite existential
debates. Paradoxes proliferate. Every action has an equal and opposite
reaction, sometimes unclear at first.

Sometimes
one must step away from lawfulness in the service of a greater good.

Sometimes
the very thing that keeps us safe is the one thing that can exterminate us.

Sometimes
we bargain over the lesser of two evils.

What
is unambiguous: The nun, the drifter and the house painter have been charged
with two felonies whose combined maximum sentence is 30 years in prison. One of
these felonies is rarely levelled against civilians: “intent to injure, interfere with, or obstruct the national defense of
the United States,” as written under the
“Sabotage” chapter of the U.S. Code.

Their
jury trial is scheduled to begin May 7 in Knoxville.

The
defendants do not view it as their trial, even though they proudly admit
to trespassing and damaging government property. By exposing what they believe
to be the fallacy of national security, by smuggling their anti-war message
into the judicial system through the back door, they believe they are putting
the country on trial.

CHAPTER 4

THE SUMMIT

The nun plodded up the steep
and densely wooded ridge.

In
front of her was the painter, behind her the drifter and the boundary fence.
Pathless, they snaked slowly in wide turns to ease the climb, pausing often so
she could catch her breath.

Sister
Megan Gillespie Rice (Right)

The Holy Spirit directs a person to what is right
and what is possible,
the nun thought, and this was possible.

Her
parents taught her that life is about moving toward one’s purpose. She had been
working her way toward this climb since the age of 9, when she learned her
family’s next-door neighbour in New York City was a Columbia University
biophysicist privy to the secret Manhattan project.

She
remembers Pearl Harbour and covering her eyes when the newsreels played war
footage before matinees at Trans-Lux movie theatres in Manhattan.

She
remembers her obstetrician father, who spoke of impoverished patients at
Bellevue Hospital; her mother, whose PhD thesis explored the Catholic opinion
on slavery; and her uncle, Walter Hooke, a Marine who was yoked with “the
terrible weight of knowing” after surveying the decimation of Nagasaki, where
all that survived in the city’s cathedral was a scorched wood statue of the
Virgin Mary.

She
remembers committing as a teenager to the teaching order Sisters of the Holy
Child Jesus because of their work in Africa, and learning at Boston College how
radioactivity affects human cells.

The
servants of God stopped to rest.

A
dog barked in the distance. From town? From over the ridge?

She
had known danger. Kneeling down to block traffic at the entrance to the Nevada
Test Site in the ’80s.

She
had known hardship. Sleeping in classrooms in rural east Nigeria. No running
water, no electricity.

She
had known Sister Anne Montgomery,
who, in 2009 at 83, broke into Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, which harbours nuclear
submarines, and was convicted, with four others, of trespassing and damaging
federal property.

How
can I get involved? Sister Megan asked Sister Anne after the trial.

Call
Greg Boertje-Obed, Sister Anne said.

“It’s
idolatry, putting trust in weapons. And weapons are made like gods. … Weapons
are always false gods because they make money. It’s profiteering.” ~ Sister Megan Rice

And
now there she was, an old lady in sturdy shoes, reaching the limits of her
mortal energy at the top of Pine Ridge with Greg, about 90 minutes into the
mission. There was the vista over which the Prophet of Oak Ridge had prayed
more than a century before, where a national security complex now winked in the
darkness.

There
was still a slope to descend, and three more fences to cut through. The plan
was to hike along the ridge, breach the fences away from the facility’s guard
towers and then walk casually toward the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials
Facility, which houses the nation’s cache of highly enriched uranium ~ an
estimated 400 tons of it, racked in cans floor-to-ceiling across 110,000 square
feet.

Inside
the building was enough radioactive material to fuel over 10,000 nuclear bombs,
which would end civilization many times over.

Sister
Megan was tired and fading with the night, so they recalibrated.

They
started down the slope immediately.

Once
clear of the trees, they would head for the first building they saw.

separates the city of Oak Ridge from the Y-12 National Security Complex. (Linda
Davidson/The Washington Post)

CHAPTER 5

THE BELLY OF THE BEAST

Mission
planning involved searching the Bible and the Internet.

All of the
relevant information on Y-12’s layout was available online. All of the relevant
motivation was available in the books of Psalms, Proverbs and Isaiah.

The Y-12
break-in is the latest “Plowshares” disarmament action, a tradition of symbolic
and intrepid civil resistance dating to September 1980, when the Berrigan
brothers and six others hammered on Minutemen missiles and poured blood on
documents at the General Electric weapons plant in King of Prussia, Pa. The Plowshares
activists take their name and inspiration from Isaiah 2:4, a verse prophesying
a world without war.

A parade of
actions, each with its own name, has followed over the years. The Dorothy Day
Catholic Worker house in Petworth is home to several Plowshares alumni,
including Michael, and a home away from home to Sister Megan, who resides in
her order’s residence on Newton Street NE. (Greg lives with his wife and
daughter in Duluth, Minn.)

In the
context of Plowshares history, the July action was both typical and astounding,
says Paul Magno, a Plowshares veteran and a leader of D.C. non-profit Witness
for Peace.

“To me, it
goes to not only the over-hype, the over-sell of the whole security mythology,
but it goes to what you can do with an act of faith,” Magno says. “God’s people
can be faithful and the Red Sea parts and lets them through when there’s no
reason to believe that should be possible.”

The action
last summer was dubbed “Transform Now Plowshares” because its three
participants desire the immediate conversion of all nuclear weaponry from
agents of war to resources that benefit mankind.

Michael and
Sister Megan live in the world as they believe it should be, not in the world
as it is.

Sister Megan
doesn’t vote.

“It
would mean I would be a citizen of this regime. I am a citizen of the world. I
act in consequence.”

Michael
derides Washington as the belly of the beast.

“Did you
know that the last president who wasn’t a war criminal was Herbert Hoover?”

Says Sister
Megan of Michael: “His mind is never still.”

Says Michael
of Sister Megan: “She’s a visionary.”

Together
they’re like an overactive younger brother and patient older sister. Michael
summons the brimstone, Sister Megan the bromide.

When she and
Michael retell their story, which they do often to eager foot soldiers of
social justice groups, they put it in tidy parable form on PowerPoint: We saw
injustice at Y-12, so we broke in to bring truth and attract the world’s
attention, and here is the U.S. government’s seven-decade budget for
nuclear-weapons infrastructure. After one such presentation, at the weekly
“Clarification of Thought” at the Dorothy Day house, a visitor asks about the
forces they faced once they made it through the final fence that summer night.

“The first
person to really lose his job was this lovely security guard,” says Sister
Megan, adding that she hopes to meet him when she, Greg and Michael go to
Knoxville for a pre-trial hearing on whether they can offer moral conviction as
a defense in court.

CHAPTER 6THE DESCENT

The lights
of the Antichrist flickered through the trees.

The drifter
prayed.

Lord,
make me an instrument of your peace. For all the glory is yours, and on the
last day Jesus will come like this, like a thief in the night, and the
warmongering United States will fulfill Isaiah’s prophecy by beating its swords
into plowshares.

He had
duct-taped the head of his flashlight to reduce the beam to a sliver. On the
downward slope of Pine Ridge, he moved in front of the nun, clearing branches
and stones from her path. He was just a frail earthen vessel, he believed, but
she was a daughter of God. He was her bodyguard.

Michael Robin Walli (right)

On his head
was a construction hat painted light blue, with “UN” marked on the front. On
his breath was the stink of Top brand tobacco. In their backpacks, he and the
nun carried twine, matches, candles, a Bible, three hammers, six cans of spray
paint, three protest banners, copies of a letter they wished to deliver to Y-12
employees and two emblems of sustenance ~ a packet of cucumber seeds and a
fresh-baked loaf of bread with a cross molded into the top.

And six baby
bottles of human blood.

This was
easy compared with Vietnam, where he carried briefing boards of heavy hinged
plywood out of Phuoc Long province during the Cambodia incursion. Michael was
an Army specialist, an expert marksman with an M-14 and M-16. The
carpet-bombing from American B-52s still echoes in his head.

“Like thunder,
but it didn’t stop.”

He earned a
Bronze Star.

He considers
himself a war criminal.

He left the
Army after two tours, found Jesus, became an ascetic, worked in a homeless
shelter in Chicago, stormed the gates of the CIA with 1,500 other activists in April
1987, wound up in Fairfax County’s jail and decided to stay in Washington upon
his release.

And now, 45
years after his enlistment, he was at the edge of the woods on the other side
of Pine Ridge, the flood-lit expanse of Y-12 in front of him.

“In heaven Jesus has no arsenal of
nuclear weapons. And as we pray in the Our Father prayer: ‘Here on Earth as it
is in heaven.’ … Nuclear weapons are a product of hell and we need to send them
back there.” ~ Michael Walli

As predicted
long ago, the valley was filled with great buildings, many rusted and dating to
the Manhattan Project. But right in front of them was a vast, new fortress of
reinforced concrete with a foundation anchored in bedrock.

As luck, or
providence, would have it, this was their original target: the Highly Enriched
Uranium Materials Facility, a large part of Y-12’s mission to reduce its
physical footprint, improve its safety and modernize its operations.

From the
treeline, they watched a patrol SUV pass one way on Bear Creek Road, then the other.
Then they walked across the two lanes and approached the first of three
eight-foot chain-link fences. This outer fence, with three lines of barbed wire
on top, was part of Y-12’s “perimeter intrusion detection and assessment
system.”

It was no
match for bolt cutters.

The house
painter began cutting links in the first fence near a sign that said “Danger:
Halt! Deadly force is authorized beyond this point.”

Somewhere on
the site, according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel’s nuclear reporter Frank
Munger, were Gatling guns capable of firing 3,000 rounds per minute ~ a
fusillade that could reduce a trespasser to pink mist.

The painter
pulled back the flap of chain links like a curtain.

The nun
entered the kill zone first.

Oak
Ridge, Tenn., was created in 1943 by the U.S. government to play an integral
role in the Manhattan Project. (Linda Davidson/The Washington Post)

CHAPTER 7THE SECRET CITY

Nestled in a river valley, Oak Ridge looks unremarkable on the surface. Its old town
square has been overtaken by a congested turnpike lined with fast food joints,
credit unions and parking lots. Cul-de-sacs of single-family homes unfurl up
the foggy foothills of the Smoky Mountains.

Roads are
named Hickory, Poplar and Whippoorwill, and Manhattan, Palladium and Boeing.
Flagpoles clang. The Panera is always packed. Locals pronounce their city “Oh-kridge.”

On a knoll
on the front lawn of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, a six-foot marble statue of
the Virgin Mary gazes southward over the low-rise downtown, toward Pine Ridge.
Her face shaded by dark green mold, the Virgin stands barefoot on a spheroid
plinth that represents Earth. This Mary, like most Marys, has her foot on a
serpent, but there’s a curious non-biblical icon on the Earth under her toes: a
nucleus framed by a whirl of electrons.

The atomic
symbol is on the facade of the public high school. It is rendered in stained
glass inside the public library. It is on the big green sign that heralds the
Y-12 National Security Complex just over Pine Ridge.

At
noon on the first Wednesday of every month, the DOE tests its public-warning
sirens for three minutes. Every June, re-enactors stage the Allied invasion of
Normandy in the town park.

Though
you haven’t needed a badge to get into the town since 1949, Oak Ridge’s soul
hasn’t changed. It’s still a company town, and the company is the government,
and the business is bombs.

Its
centerpiece, Y-12, has become a large processing shop and warehouse for most of
the country’s highly enriched uranium. It’s one of five production sites
connected to three research labs under the umbrella of the National Nuclear
Security Administration, a semi-autonomous entity within the Department of
Energy created in the year 2000 to manage and secure nuclear weapons and
non-proliferation programs.

Y-12
processes highly enriched uranium for a variety of purposes, including
“life-extension programs” for three classes of warheads and the B61 bomb. The
renovation of these weapons
programs could take 25 years, officials estimate, and cost
$20 billion. The site also dismantles weapons components and “downblends” the
highly enriched uranium, reducing its radioactivity for use in research and
nuclear reactors.

Weapons,
war and secrecy are the city’s economy, its legacy and, for now, its future.
Concrete guard stations from the early 1950s lurk on the roadsides. A
“commemorative walk” salutes the 43ers ~ those thousands of people who moved to
Oak Ridge at the government’s behest in 1943. One plaque says residents’ work
“made possible a weapon that was instrumental in bringing peace to a world
anguished by the brutal six-year war in which 54 million people died.”

The
activists of Transform Now Plowshares are in West Knoxville in early February,
at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, testifying to the
congregation after a Sunday service. Church members ask them how they can claim
nonviolence when they destroyed property.

“Maybe the triviality of that destruction comes from a truth
that is monstrous,” Sister Megan says. “Those very fences are illegal, and
guarding lies and secrecy and corruption and great danger to the world.”

White-haired
Lillian Mashburn stands, arms crossed, in the back of the church. She’s
thinking of her father, who was an infantryman stationed in the Pacific when
Oak Ridge’s uranium fell toward Hiroshima.

“He
was saved by that bomb,” Mashburn, a church board member, says after the discussion.
“They were told when they landed they would be killed as part of the first
wave. . . . There’s a whole generation of people, most of whom would’ve been
dead, who were saved.”

What
saves Oak Ridge are the dollars that gush from Washington to East Tennessee.

The
complex is the second-largest employer in East Tennessee and creates 24,000
indirect jobs, according to the site contractor’s Y-12 Community Relations
Council. Eight thousand people go to work there, including contractors,
subcontractors, protective-force guards and 80 federal employees of the
Department of Energy. For 2014, $1.2 billion was requested by the NNSA for the
management and operation of Y-12.

Y-12
is slated to construct a new Uranium Processing Facility, a massive building
that will ensure that America’s nuclear arsenal remains operational. Peak
construction of the UPF will create 1,500 construction jobs and 5,000 support
jobs.

“This
community serves the DOE,” says Ralph Hutchison, 56, the coordinator of the
nonprofit Oak Ridge Environmental Peace
Alliance, whose ultimate goal is to abolish nuclear weapons,
which means halting operations at Y-12. “It’s the environment in which they
live. It’s the air they breathe.”

CHAPTER 8THE MIRACLE

The trio
stood in a moat of white rocks between the first and
second fence.

The complex
was lit bright as day.

No one was
racing to apprehend them.

The middle
fence was intimidating, and wired for something.

Motion
sensoring?

Electricity?

This is not
going to work, the house painter thought. We are not going to
get through this.

Gregory Irwin Boertje-Obed (Right)

He had known
doubt before. Greg was a Presbyterian Iowa farm boy who joined the ROTC to
afford Tulane University. He went into active duty at Fort Polk in 1981, as the
nuclear-freeze movement rallied against President Ronald Reagan’s stockpile
buildup. He read Daniel Berrigan.

His
government said: Be ready for nuclear war.

The prophet
Isaiah said: Do not put your trust in horses and chariots.

He couldn’t
reconcile the two. He left the Army as a conscientious objector, he says, and
returned to New Orleans in time to hear Berrigan talk about Plowshares actions.

Greg heard
an inner voice say, Go in this direction.

Within two
years, he was living at Jonah House, the Catholic Worker residence in
Baltimore, where he met his wife, Michele. While raising their daughter, they
scheduled their protests to make sure that only one of them was facing jail at
any given time. His first action was hammering Trident II missile tubes at
Quonset Point shipyard in Rhode Island.

Twenty-six
years later, a nun would call him up, looking to make her own first action.

“We are a little bungling. We are
just ordinary people, and inept. … So we chose a date and said come in advance.
We thought Sunday. We thought maybe there would be fewer workers, maybe they
would be in a more charitable mood ~ if it’s a Sunday, they’re less likely to
shoot you.” ~ Greg Boertje-Obed

And now this
middle fence, and the possibility that their mission was over. Surely security
cameras had spied them by now. Surely this fence would trip an alarm.

You won’t
know unless you try, the inner voice told him.

He began
cutting links in the middle fence, severing fiber-optic sensors.

No one came
for them.

This is grace, he thought, and he climbed through after the others.

He cut
through the last fence, and they were through the Red Sea, and there was
nothing between them and the Fort Knox of Uranium.

God is with us, he thought. This is a
miracle.

They
shook cans of red and black spray paint.

They
gripped the baby bottles of blood.

They
spray painted the building’s north wall, which was designed to withstand the
impact of aircraft but not the words of the Book of Proverbs.

They poured and splashed blood that had once been in the veins
of a painter-activist named Tom Lewis, one of the Catonsville Nine who, on
Hiroshima Day 1987, hammered on the bomb racks of an anti-submarine plane at
the South Weymouth Naval Air Station near Boston. In 2008, Lewis died in his
sleep, and his blood was frozen so that he might one day participate in one
last Plowshares action.

In bright red rivulets, the last of Tom Lewis streaked down the
concrete.

They
removed the hammers from the drifter’s backpack. “TRANSFORM NOW” was written in
red marker on the handle of the claw hammer. Burned into the handle of the
small sledge hammer was “Repent! God’s kingdom is at hand!”

They
began to strike the pentagonal base of a guard tower at the northwest corner of
the building. Chips of concrete fell to the asphalt. Blood dribbled into the
scar.

They
believed they were also hammering on what had not yet been built. The wide open
space to the right of the tower was designated for the Uranium Processing
Facility, now projected to cost at least $6.5 billion, a stockpile of money
that they wanted spent on life-extension programs for people.

They
are gathering for a dinner of salmon, tofu and broccoli with a couple of other
members of the Transform Now Plowshares support group at a supporter’s house in
south Knoxville. From this home base, in the days before their February pre-trial
hearing, they bring their anti-bomb evangel to various settings.

At
the University of Tennessee, where they are guest speakers in a systems theory
class, Greg talks about the diffusion of social responsibility and how he feels
personally responsible for nuclear weapons because his taxes have paid for
them. Michael, who is wearing a T-shirt that says “GROUND THE DRONES,” calls
Y-12 “a failed rogue terrorist state.”

“I
think there’s a deafening silence about what’s going on at Y-12,” says student
Rochelle Butler, “but I do know people who work there are good people. Why
would I believe outsiders rather than people who work there, who I believe to
be good?”

“We
love these people in a deeply compassionate way,” Sister Megan says of the Y-12
employees. “Our motivation was in solidarity with people who spend their time
making nuclear bombs to feed their children. . . . We are all so intertwined
and empower each other. A thought creates its own energy. The quantum theory of
physics is always at work.”

The
theory is at work a couple of days later at Maryville College, where the trio
eats pizza with 15 students from a progressive Christian group. “They are each
connected to 50 others,” Sister Megan whispers before chatting with music
student Chris Hickman.

“I
know nothing about the anti-nuclear movement,” Hickman tells her. “I was born
in ’92, and it’s kind of an afterthought for my generation.”

Greg,
Michael and Sister Megan visit with two dozen people at a meeting of the
Presbyterian Peacemaking Committee of East Tennessee.

“Prince
of Peace, we thank you for your prophets who’ve spoken your word down through
the ages, and we thank you for the prophets among us,” says host Scott Brunger
during his opening prayer.

The
attendees chat about the fallout from the break-in. Someone asks about what
their intrusion has cost taxpayers ~ at least $15 million in security
alterations by the NNSA, according to the Knoxville News
Sentinel ~ and Greg says that they saved taxpayers $12.2
million that was docked from the management contractor’s award fee. Sister
Megan again brings up the first guard they encountered inside the facility and
how he lost his job. She says how he saved their lives by not escalating the
situation.

“I
feel very guilty not contacting him,” Sister Megan admits.

The
guard’s number is listed.

He’ll
answer the phone if you call.

And
when you ask about the three people who broke into Y-12 last summer, you can
almost hear his grip on the phone tighten as he says: “You mean the people who
ruined my life?”

CHAPTER 10‘I’VE SERVED MY COUNTRY’

Two weeks
after the break-in, Kirk Garland was handed a letter
from the site’s protective-force contractor that said he “failed” in his
responsibilities as a guard on the morning of July 28, 2012. The letter said he
showed “blatant disregard for the seriousness of the situation.” It said he was
terminated, effective immediately, and his health insurance would expire two
days later.

Kirk Garland (Right)

A solid man
with a cinnamon-coloured moustache, Kirk started working in nuclear security in
1983 at Colorado’s now-shuttered Rocky Flats Plant, which processed plutonium
for weapons. For three years, he worked in a similar job at the Pantex Plant in
Amarillo, Tex., where nuclear weapons are put together and taken apart. Then he
moved to Y-12, where the fuel is processed.

What Oak
Ridge built, he says, he was proud to protect.

“In my eyes,
after being a guard for 30 years, I feel that I should be treated the same way
as somebody who served in Iraq,” says Kirk, 52. “I’ve served my country for 30
years by protecting my nation’s nuclear assets.”

He was four
years from retirement, bringing home $85,000 a year with overtime, with a
pristine employment record.

The sign on
the front door of his modest house says, “This property has been determined to
be vacant and abandoned.” He could rescue it from foreclosure, but doesn’t have
the money. What he has is a rental home in nearby Clinton, a sick wife, a
month’s worth of losing lottery tickets, a 16-year-old daughter who has
curtailed her passion for barrel-racing horses, and a small contingent of
German shepherds that he raises to sell to police department K-9 units.

“I do okay,”
he says, standing in the ransacked backyard of his former home in Lake City,
Tenn. “My wife don’t. She can’t come up here. Nothing I can do about it. Thirty
years with DOE. And you’re looking at everything.”

Scattered
cinder blocks. Sodden heaps of pink insulation. The kennel hauled off by
vandals, the small stable stripped of its roof and most of its siding. It had
been a good life in Lake City, 20 miles north of Y-12, where he worked for
nearly 5 1/2 years until those people, he says, decided to overexert their
First Amendment right.

The report
on the break-in by the inspector general of the Department of Energy faults
Kirk for not pulling his weapon, for not securing the area.

The site’s
management contractor, Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Y-12, faults him
for not immobilizing the intruders and for turning his back while they rummaged
through their backpacks.

The site’s
protective-force contractor, WSI-Oak Ridge, faults him for an “embarrassing”
and “casual” response to the intrusion. NNSA officials were “horrified” by
surveillance video of Kirk first addressing the intruders from his car, instead
of immediately jumping out, and for making assumptions about their intent.

If he had
acted too aggressively, on the other hand, Y-12 might have had a dead nun on
its hands.

Kirk says
there was no reason to unholster his gun, that it was unsafe for one man to try
to cuff three people, that an entire patrol team should’ve been dispatched to a
zone with multiple alarms. He had previously dealt with peace protesters at
Rocky Flats, which is how he knew that the three trespassers were not
dangerous, he says. The “blatant disregard,” he says, lies elsewhere.

In fact, the
security camera that watched Zone 63, the area of the trio’s incursion, had
been out of service for six months, according to a subsequent report from the
Department of Energy’s inspector general. At the time of the break-in, there
were 56 busted security tools across Y-12, seven broken security cameras
surrounding the HEUMF and an average of 2,170 sitewide alarms per day ~ many
caused by wildlife, weather and foliage.

None of this
was Kirk’s responsibility.

“In my eyes
they’ve ruined my name,” Kirk says of the government and its contractors. “I
worked hard. I mean, I put my family second a lot of times to keep this
clearance for 30 years, just to have it jerked out from me like that. . . . I
think they were embarrassed that an 82-year-old got in that far. And they used
me for their scapegoat. They used me to say, ‘Well, he messed it up. We got rid
of him.’ But I wasn’t the problem.”

The problem,
according to a string of reports over the years from the DOE’s inspector
general and the Government Accountability Office, was a lax security culture
and hands-off federal oversight. The problem was “a culture of compliance, as
opposed to a culture of performance,” according to a B&W Y-12’s post-mortem
of what became known internally as “the Security Event.” A GAO report released,
coincidentally, three days after the break-in admonished the NNSA for cost
overruns, mismanagement and an absentee relationship with contractors.

To date,
Kirk is the only individual to have been fired outright because of the
incident. The guards who failed to detect and initiate a proper response to the
breach were suspended, and the supervising lieutenant was disciplined. B&W
Y-12 removed four managers, allowing the top two to formally retire. Four
federal officials with security oversight jobs were reassigned. The leaders of
the guard force retired or were reassigned, says Paul Donahue, chief executive
of G4S Government Solutions, the parent company of the protective force
company, which lost its contract. The management and operations contractor lost
$12.2 million of its award incentive fee, and the same firms, with different
partners, have bid on a new 10-year contract for both Y-12 and Pantex worth $23
billion.

Kirk has a
car repairman dogging him for a $1,000 debt that he can’t pay. In March, he
took a guard job at a county jail that he says pays $24,000 a year. His case is
slated for arbitration this fall through the International Guards Union of
America.

He’s reached
for his Baptist faith to temper his anger. He attends services at Faith
Promise, a massive church on a hill on the outskirts of Oak Ridge. He doesn’t
understand how law-breaking activists can be inspired by the same God that
guides his life down the straight and narrow.

“I’ve got to
sit down and ask a priest,” Kirk says. “Doing the Lord’s work is not protesting
and getting arrested. You don’t get to heaven on your works anyway. You get to
heaven on salvation. . . . God’s got a different plan for me. Everything
happens in his timing, whenever he’s ready to move us along.”

When told
that Sister Megan thinks he saved her life by not escalating the situation ~
that, in fact, he was her salvation ~ Kirk is speechless. His wife is not.

“That’s
amazing that she’d make that kind of statement,” scoffs Joann Garland. “She is
safe ~ because of him ~ to be able to go and do what she’s doing. . . . The
joke of it is they came in God’s name. God does not say to break laws. Sorry.
God does not say that.”

If religion
gives meaning to the chaos of the cosmos, the law
developed alongside to order society’s unruliest parts.

Greg, who
represents himself in court, stood behind the microphone and delivered his
testimony in monolithic terms.

“So when you
build a nuclear weapon, you are planning and preparing to commit mass murder,”
he argued in a November pre-trial hearing in Knoxville. “You are giving your
assent to the killing of civilians.”

In that
precursor episode to The United States of America v. Walli et al, the
defense argued that it is illegal for the United States to possess nuclear
weapons because their sole purpose is to inflict damage that cannot be
contained: Civilians perish en masse, the environment is poisoned for
generations and the mere threat of this scenario ~ even under the guise of
deterrence ~ constitutes “imminent harm” that cannot be ignored for one more
minute, let alone successive generations.

After the
defense cited the Geneva and Hague conventions and invoked the Nuremberg
principles, the government argued that international treaties do not take
precedence over laws Congress enacts to ensure national defense, including
nuclear weapons programs. At the notion of complicity to war crimes, Assistant
U.S. Attorney Jeffrey E. Theodore balked.

“They say if
they didn’t act, that they are somehow complicit in this ‘illegality,’”
Theodore argued in November. “Well, then, therefore, all the people here who
have not acted, not [broken] in to Y-12 to stop the ‘illegal’ operations there,
then . . . they’re complicit in war crimes, I guess, which is . . . a ludicrous
argument.”

William
Quigley, the defendants’ pro-bono counsel, told the court his clients should be
allowed to testify about their moral imperatives for the break-in.

After
Michael, Greg and Sister Megan refused a plea bargain, the government hit them
with the more serious charge under the sabotage act. That led Transform Now
Plowshares and its support group to Courtroom 3B of U.S. District Court in
downtown Knoxville in Feburary, for a second hearing on obstructing the
national defense, scheduled between a case of bank robbery and a case of Social
Security fraud.

That
morning, Sister Megan has trouble getting through security.

“Any metal
on you, sister?” a guard asks during her third run through the metal detector.

“I have
titanium in my wrists,” the nun says, then gestures to the X-ray machine. “Do
you wear lead vests standing next to this all day? I think you should.”

The support
group swells to 25 people and fills all rows on the defense’s side of the
courtroom. Ralph Hutchison and folks from the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace
Alliance are here.

As they
await the start of the hearing, the supporters begin singing softly.

“Peace is
flo-wing like a riiiii-ver,” they warble from their seats. “Flo-wing out into
the deeeeesert.”

Hutchison
chuckles. “Oh the judge loves it when they sing,” he says.

CHAPTER 12

REACTION

In Washington, a congressman
asks the nun to please stand up.

“We
want to thank you for pointing out some of the problems in our security,” says
Rep. Joe L. Barton (R-Tex.).

Another
congressman expresses a different kind of gratitude.

“Thank
you for your willingness to focus attention on this nuclear weapons buildup
that still exists in our world,” says Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), “and how
much we need to do something to reduce it.”

A
third congressman is incredulous at the nun’s mere presence at this September
oversight hearing of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

“Why
are they even here in this hearing room?” says Rep. Michael C. Burgess
(R-Tex.). “Why are they not being held in — in detention somewhere?”

Since
July 28, Congress has been sputtering with indignation. Hearings were scheduled
on Sept. 12 and 13, Feb. 28 and March 13 so
legislators could vocalize how “shocked” and “appalled” they are. The phrase
“wake-up call” is uttered and re-uttered. “Peace through strength” becomes a
refrain. The word “culture” is used 72 times to explain how a complex, highly
funded operation could be so vulnerable. Federal officials at the witness table
get lost in a maze of their own jargon. Congress members wonder over and over
what would have happened if the intruders had been terrorists, not peace
activists. Brig. Gen. Sandra Finan, commander of the Air Force Nuclear Weapons
Center, appears several times to present her task force’s findings on “Lessons of the Y-12 Security
Failure”: NNSA has muddled lines of authority, and its
security culture has “focused on fiscal limitations over effective performance.”

Rice and Michael Walli attend a hearing on nuclear security conducted by the
House Energy and Commerce Committee. Between them is activist and supporter
Paul Magno. (Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post)

Sister
Megan and Michael witness each hearing in sweat pants and parkas. They are lost
in the navy thicket of young legislative assistants. On one of these field
trips, they get off the Metro at Capitol South station and grimace at the giant
Raytheon ads that feature military vehicles and mottos like “Any threat, any
mission.”

On
Feb. 28, the House Armed Services Committee’s subcommittee on strategic forces
tries to sniff out blame.

Sister
Megan is not concerned with this slight. The world needs positive and negative
charges, she says. You can’t have energy without both.

On
March 13, during a second hearing in front of the Energy and Commerce’s
oversight subcommittee, Rep. Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) cites a 2010 Department of Energy memo
in which Deputy Secretary Daniel B. Poneman called for the elimination of
“excessive Federal oversight” of contractors and the awarding of
“decision-making authorities” to “the lowest level of contractor and Federal
management.”

The
subcommittee, as a body, wonders if the department had farmed out the
stewardship of nuclear assets to contractors who self-police and self-appraise,
and therefore continue to collect fees while cutting corners.

“What
we were trying to do, sir, was to get rid of the check-box mentality of just
looking at paperwork and creating paperwork,” Poneman replies. “To get back to
performance testing so we could be better, safer and more secure.”

Sitting
just over Poneman’s shoulder at each one of these hearings are two of the
people who have put him on this hot seat for the past eight months.

“I
appreciate what you did,” a staffer for the Government Accountability Office
tells Sister Megan after the hearing adjourns. “But don’t do it again, because
I don’t want you to get hurt.”

The last shipment of highly enriched
uranium bound for Japan left Oak Ridge on July 25, 1945, and arrived two days
later on the island of Tinian in the oblivion of the Pacific Ocean. On Aug. 6,
a 9,700-pound, 10-foot-long atomic bomb was loaded onto a B-29 bomber, flown
1,500 miles northwest, and dropped over Hiroshima.

Eyes
melted from the heads of those who had been looking skyward at the “sheet of
sun,” as John Hersey’s “Hiroshima”
described the light of the explosion.

Some
160,000 were dead, dying or injured.

Five
square miles burned.

“A
harnessing of the basic power of the universe,” President Harry Truman
announced.

“One
of the greatest blunders of history,” wrote physicist Leo Szilard, an architect
of the Manhattan Project.

“WAR
ENDS,” The Knoxville Journal declared.

Our
national complex was just beginning. The bomb created to stop one war imbued
all future wars with apocalyptic power. The United States raced Russia to amass
nuclear weapons ~ a peak of 30,000 stateside in the mid-1960s ~ then began to
reduce the stockpile as other nations pursued and attained nuclear capability.

This
past January, the Indian government distributed to Kashmiris a nuclear-war advisory
that encouraged the building of bunkers.

In
March, Secretary of State John F. Kerry told ABC News that “confrontation
becomes more possible” if Iran continues its plan to enrich uranium and develop
nuclear weaponry.

In
April, North Korea publicized its desire to strike the United States, and the
White House announced that it had helped the Czech Republic remove its entire stockpile
of highly enriched uranium ~ all 150 pounds of it, or enough for two or three
nukes.

“Every
gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the
final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold
and are not clothed.” ~ President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
April 16, 1953

The
United States possesses roughly 4,650 active nuclear weapons plus another 3,000
awaiting dismantlement, according to the Federation of
American Scientists, a non-partisan think tank created by
Manhattan Project scientists. To satisfy the New START Treaty with Russia, our
1,950 strategically deployed high-alert nuclear weapons must be reduced to
1,550 by 2018. In order to get the treaty ratified by the Senate in 2010,
President Obama promised $85 billion
through 2020 for modernizing the U.S. stockpile.

In
a time of austerity, our weapons budget is rising as our stockpile is falling.

The
officials who lay awake at night worrying how to safeguard Cold War leftovers
have a delicate, intricate mission fraught with peril and obstacle.

“Of
course, what’s also undeniable is that the threat remains. There are still too
many bad actors in search of these dangerous materials, and these dangerous
materials are still vulnerable in too many places. It would not take much… to
kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people.” ~ President
Obama, March 26, 2012

“We
have been running a system a certain way for such a long time and not really
thinking about whether it was working or not,” says acting NNSA administrator
Neile Miller, charged with overseeing the politically choreographed ~ and
therefore incremental ~ transition from proliferation to disarmament.

Miller,
during an interview in April at the DOE, acknowledges failures in management and
says she understands the protester mentality and frustration. But the wish for
a nuclear-free world of the future, she says, can distort perception of the
policy that guides the world of the present.

“I
know people want to believe that everybody here is just of one mind . . . and
we’re all somehow of this military-industrial complex — and it just doesn’t
work that way,” she says. “ . . . People tend to be religiously for or
religiously against. And as a result, they tend to attribute motivations and actions
to all sorts of things that, in my personal experience, so very rarely turn out
to be anywhere near what’s actually happening.”

As
long as nuclear weapons exist, Sister Megan, Michael, Greg and their fellow
activists will hammer on their infrastructure. Incrementalism is the danger,
they believe, because the threat is imminent, the consequences are catastrophic
and society suffers financially and morally.

And what if these backpack-wearing peaceniks had been
terrorists, for whom obtaining highly enriched uranium is the likeliest way to
create mass destruction?

With
those 20 minutes of uninterrupted access to the site, they could have blown
through the doors or walls of the HEUMF with an explosively formed penetrator
and rigged an improvised nuclear device using highly enriched uranium and
conventional explosives. A 10-kiloton detonation at Y-12 would cause an
estimated 60,000 casualties, including 18,000 deaths, in East Tennessee.
Radiation would have sickened people over 40 miles.

This
worst-case scenario is presented in a yet-to-be-published report on UPF by the
watchdog group Project on Government Oversight, which combines a “design basis
threat” scenario from the Department of Energy with a Department of Defense
hazard-prediction algorithm employed by the Natural Resources Defense Council,
an environmental advocacy non-profit.

The
deputy secretary of the Department of Energy said in February ~ during the
Nuclear Deterrence Summit in Arlington ~ that the intrusion, while
“unacceptable,” did not compromise the uranium and therefore did not directly
imperil the nation.

The
Justice Department has charged the trio with intending to do just that.

So
what is really on trial the second week of May?

The
limits of the judicial system or the limits of social-justice actions?

The
moral arch of the universe versus the bottom line of governance?

Is
it the bargain we strike with ourselves?

CHAPTER 14FISSIONIn the late afternoon of Friday, July 27, 2012, the guard drove to Y-12, put on his
camouflage uniform, embroidered with “Semper Vigil,” and holstered a Sig P226 9
mm on his hip.

Over his
12-hour shift, day became night.

For his last
two hours, 4 to 6 a.m., he rotated into a patrol vehicle. Around 4:20 a.m., a
three-second tone came over his radio ~ a low-priority alarm that was cleared
by an officer in short order. Soon after, the guard’s cellphone rang.

The cleared
alarm keeps bouncing back, his supervising lieutenant said; the alarm station
was suggesting “something is not right” in Zone 63, and that a maintenance crew
might be at work. The guard was then dispatched to a sector of the security
fence that runs around the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility. He
arrived there in less than a minute and pulled slowly to the fence in his
vehicle. Nothing seemed amiss, until movement caught his eye. He turned his
head away from the fence to the HEUMF.

An old woman
was walking toward his vehicle, a grizzled man on either side. At first he
thought it was a painting crew ~ it wasn’t uncommon for maintenance to be done
overnight ~ but behind them were three phrases spray-painted red and black onto
the white building.

THE
FRUIT OF JUSTICE IS PEACE.

Their
hands were up.

Peace protesters, he thought, as his phone rang
again.

It
was his lieutenant, checking in.

“I’ve
got three individuals here who have appeared to have breached our system,” the
guard told him, “and they’ve written graffiti all over the walls.”

His
lieutenant thought he was kidding.

“I’m
telling you what I got. They’re peace protesters. I need backup.”

He
then identified himself through the vehicle window and asked the trio: “What
are you doing here?

“God
led us here,” said one of the men.

“Stop
where you’re at,” the guard said, exiting his vehicle.

The
old woman bowed to him.

“Keep
your hands where I can see them.”

“Will
you listen to our message?” she said.

The
three began to recite text from a white piece of paper.

“Brothers
and sisters, powers that be, we come to you today as friends . . .”

The
two men retrieved candles from their backpacks nearby and lit them.

“A
loving and compassionate creator invites us to take the urgent and decisive
steps to transform the U.S. empire, and this facility, into life-giving
alternatives which resolve real problems . . .”

It
would be five minutes before another security officer would show up,
brandishing an M-16, ready to help cuff the intruders on the ground as they
sang “This Little Light of Mine.” It would be another two hours until special
agents from the Department of Energy arrested the trespassers and mobilized the
wheels of justice, and six hours until the trespassers were booked in the
Blount County Jail, and one day until the biblical graffiti was scrubbed clean,
and 10 days until the three were charged with “maliciously” attempting to
destroy a structure within the Y-12 National Security Complex, and two weeks
until the complex reopened and the guard lost his job, and nine months until
the trespassers would face trial before a jury of their fellow citizens that
would have the power to convict them of intending to endanger the United
States.

But
for those next five minutes the scene was simple, almost sacramental.

Four
servants of God, drawn together by conviction and coincidence, regarded each
other as dawn approached.

The
Lord may have been there.

The
devil, too.

Or
maybe human beings colliding in the quantum theory of physics was almighty
enough.

About this story.
The intrusion at Y-12 in Tennessee was re-created for this article through
reporting in the city of Oak Ridge, extensive interviews with the three
activists and former protective-force guard Kirk Garland, and interviews with
federal officials and site employees. This account also draws upon
congressional testimony and detailed written reports on the security event from
the inspector general of the Department of Energy and the contractor
partnership Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Y-12.

Last year
three people broke into one of America’s most secure nuclear-weapons
facilities. The perpetrators were an 82-year-old nun and two of her companions.
We sat down to talk with Sister Megan Gillespie Rice before she headed to
Tennessee to face trial.

In Russia there comes the hope of the world, not as that sometimes termed of the communistic, or Bolshevik, no; but freedom,freedom! That each man will live for his fellow man! The principle has been born. It will take years for it to be crystallized, but out of Russia comes again the hope of the world. ~ Edgar Cayce, 1944, No. 3976-29

**********These pro-Israel people like pledges: they tried to force me to sign a pledge of loyalty to Israel. When I refused, it was trench warfare, hand to hand combat every day I was in the Congress, and the U.S. people never knew that I was fighting to remain independent for them. To make real peace and to find real justice. Here, they have the whole of the U.S. government making pledges to them!!! Unbelievable. ~ Cynthia McKinney, PhD**********

WORDS AND WARNINGS OF WICKEDNESS

"If [Jews] are as wise as they claim to be, they will labour to make Jews American, instead of labouring to make America Jewish. The genius of the United States of America is Christian in the broadest sense, and its destiny is to remain Christian. This carries no sectarian meaning with it, but relates to a basic principle which differs from other principles in that it provides for liberty with morality, and pledges society to a code of relations based on fundamental Christian conceptions of human rights and duties." ~ Henry Ford

“It doesn’t even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organization for their international world swindle, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks.” ~ Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Chapter 11

**********

The real God of the Universe does not have “Chosen” in the first place because he is perfect as we understand and predilection is a human weakness. The Jews invented the OT to fool humanity as always. The real God of the Universe does not send any body to kill, destroy his own creation, to rape, to maim, to create misery and havoc on other people. Don’t you get it? the God in the OT is a monster, is another one of the many Gods in the dessert, those sacrifices offered to God are Satanic as their name and the Jews keep offering sacrifices to their God. Last year they immolated thousands of human beings in Gaza to their God Baal, Moloch, Azazel, Satan, Lucifer. ~Isaas, TUT

**********

"I had been asked to sign a pledge for Israel when I first became a candidate for Congress and after refusing to do so my congressional career became trench warfare, hand to hand combat just to remain in the congress.

Ever since my refusal to sign that pledge for Israel the pro-Israel lobby let me know that my political net was in the hangman's noose it was the pro-Israel lobby they decided to tighten that noose." ~ Cynthia McKinney

"Himself a Jew, Marx has around him, in London and France, but especially in Germany, a multitude of more or less clever, scheming, agile, speculating Jews ~ such as Jews are everywhere: commercial or banking agents, writers, politicians, reporters for newspapers of all shades, with one foot in the bank and the other in the socialist movement, and with their arses sitted upon the German daily press ~ they have taken possession of all the newspapers ~ and you can imagine what kind of sickening literature they produce. Now, this entire Jewish world, which glut a single profiteering sect, a nation of blooksuckers, a single gluttonous parasite closely and intimately interlinked not only across national borders, but across all differences of political opinion ~ this Jewish world today stands for the most part at the disposal of Marx and, at the same time, at the disposal of Rothschild.

**********

This may seem strange. What can there be in common between Communism and the largest banks? Ho-ho! The Communism of Marx seeks an enormous centralization of the state, and where such exists, there must inevitably be a central state bank, and where such a bank exists, the parasitic Jewish nation, which profiteers from the labour of others, will always find a way to prevail. In reality, for the proletariat, this would be a barrack regime, under which the working men and the working women, converted into a uniform mass, would rise, fall asleep, work, and live at the beat of the drum." ~ Bakunin (1814-1876)

When we got about halfway up, the head rabbi, who was dressed in a fur hat similar to that worn by Henry VIII of England and in a surplice heavily embroidered and very filthy, came down and met the General (Eisenhower)...The smell was so terrible that I almost fainted and actually about three hours later lost my lunch as the result remembering it." ~ General Patton in Germany, diary entry Sept 17, 1945**********

The U.S. Congress officially recognized the Noahide Laws in legislation that was passed by both houses. Congress and the President of the U. S., George Bush, indicated in Public Law 102-14, 102nd Congress, that the United States of America was founded upon the Seven Universal Laws of Noah, and that these Laws have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization. They also acknowledged that the Seven Laws of Noah are the foundation upon which civilization stands and that recent weakening of these principles threaten the fabric of civilized society, and that justified preoccupation in educating the Citizens of the U.S. of America and future generations is needed. For this purpose, this Public Law designated March 26, 1991 as Education Day.”**********

Marxism, to which all branches of Socialism necessarily adhere, was originated by Jew Karl Marx, himself of rabbinical descent and has been dominated by them from the beginning. Marx did not actually originate anything; he merely “streamlined” Talmudism for Gentile consumption.” ~ Elizabeth Dilling

Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker.

Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy.

Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot'

than the stigma of conformity.

And on issues that seem important to you,

Stand up and be counted at any cost.

~ Thomas J Watson (1874-1956)

'There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. The business of the Journalist is to destroy truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.' ~ John Swinton, former Chief of Staff, The New York Times, 1953

WHAT TALMUDICS THINK

Historically, Jews had always thrived in nations and empires with multicultural, pluralistic and tolerant environments, while they fared badly in strong ethnic or nationalistic societies. European Jews have always been the emblematic stranger or ‘other’. Therefore, by definition, a society where the stranger is welcome is good for the Jews, although they have not always appreciated this link. The future of European Jewry is dependent on our ability to shape a multicultural, pluralistic and diverse society. ~ Göran Rosenberg, Jewish author and journalist

**********

American Jews are committed to cultural tolerance because of their belief ~ one firmly rooted in history ~ that Jews are safe only in a society acceptant of a wide range of attitudes and behaviors, as well as a diversity of religious and ethnic groups. It is this belief, for example, not approval of homosexuality, that leads an overwhelming majority of U.S. Jews to endorse ‘gay rights’ and to take a liberal stance on most other so-called ‘social’ issues. ~ Charles Silberman, Jewish writer and journalist

The Jew … Judaizes … he provokes religious indifference, but he also imposes on those whose faith he destroys, his own concept of the world, of morality, and of human life. The Jews detests the spirit of the nation in the midst of which they live. ~ Bernard Lazare

Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity. The goal of abolishing the white race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed white supremacists. ~ Noel Ignatiev, Harvard Magazine, Sep-Oct 2002

We intend to keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as ‘the white race’ is destroyed, not ‘deconstructed’ but destroyed.

REVENGE OF THE JEWISH RABBIS OF SPAIN In 1492 CE, Chemor, chief Rabbi of Spain, wrote to the Grand Sanhedrin, which had its seat in Constantinople, for advice, when a Spanish law threatened expulsion (after the fall of Muslim rule in spain).

This was the reply:

” Beloved brethren in Moses, we have received your letter in which you tell us of the anxieties and misfortunes which you are enduring. We are pierced by as great pain to hear it as yourselves. The advice of the Grand Satraps and Rabbis is the following:

1. As for what you say that the King of Spain obliges you to become Christians: do it, since you cannot do otherwise. 2. As for what you say about the command to despoil you of your property: make your sons merchants that they may despoil, little by little, the Christians of theirs. 3. As for what you say about making attempts on your lives: make your sons doctors and apothecaries, that they may take away Christians’ lives. 4. As for what you say of their destroying your synagogues: make your sons canons and clerics in order that they may destroy their churches. [Emphasis mine] 5. As for the many other vexations you complain of: arrange that your sons become advocates and lawyers, and see that they always mix in affairs of State, that by putting Christians under your yoke you may dominate the world and be avenged on them. 6. Do not swerve from this order that we give you, because you will find by experience that, humiliated as you are, you will reach the actuality of power.

(Signed) PRINCE OF THE JEWS OF CONSTANTINOPLE.” ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---- The reply is found in the sixteenth century Spanish book, La Silva Curiosa, by Julio-Iniguez de Medrano (Paris, Orry, 1608), on pages 156 and 157, with the following explanation: “This letter following was found in the archives of Toledo by the Hermit of Salamanca, (while) searching the ancient records of the kingdoms of Spain; and, as it is expressive and remarkable, I wish to write it here.” ~ vide, photostat facing page 80. ~ The above was quoted from Waters Flowing Eastward by Paquita de Shishmareff, pp. 73-74

“[1] When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy, and he clears away many nations before you ~ the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations mightier and more numerous than you ~ [2] and when the Lord your God gives them over to you and you defeat them, then you must utterly destroy them. Make no covenant with them and show them no mercy” (Deut 7:1-2).

**********

"Compassion towards the wicked is really wickedness. It is along these lines that Rabbi Levi opened his speech in honor of Purim: (Talmud, Megillah, 11a): "If you do not uproot the inhabitants of the Land, and allow them to remain - they will become thorns in your sides, and will cause trouble for you in the Land in which you dwell." (Bamidbar 33:55) The mitzvah, then of wiping out Amalek [Palestinians], actually stems from the value of compassion and kindness - compassion on all those whom Amalek threatens to exterminate. This mitzvah is an ongoing one, and valid even today. Today, too, there are those ~ driven by a deep-seeded anti-Semitism - who desperately wish to kill us. These are the people whom the Torah commanded us to obliterate, to leave no memory of them." ~ Rabbi Zalman Baruch Melamed

**********

Nachman Abramovic demonized Palestinian children stating: “They may look young to you, but these people are terrorists at heart. Don’t look at their deceptively innocent faces, try to think of the demons inside each of them. I am absolutely certain these people would grow to be evil terrorists if we allowed them to grow. Would you allow them to grow to kill your children or finish them off right now? Honest and moral people ought to differentiate between true humans and human animals. We do kill human animals and we do so unapologetically. Besides, who in the West is in a position to lecture us on killing human animals. After all, whose hands are clean?”

"Wars are the Jews’ harvest, for with them we wipe out the Christians and get control of their gold. We have already killed 100 million of them, and the end is not yet." ~ Chief Rabbi in France, in 1859, Rabbi Reichorn

"The Communist soul is the soul of Judaism. Hence it follows that, just as in the Russian revolution the triumph of Communism was the triumph of Judaism, so also in the triumph of fascism will triumph Judaism." ~ Rabbi Harry Waton, A Program for the Jews and Humanity, p. 143-144

**********

If a Jew is tempted to do evil he should go to a city where he is not known and do the evil there. ~ Moed Kattan 17a

**********

The Jewish people as a whole will become its own Messiah. It will attain world domination by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this New World Order, the “children of Israel” will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled in which it is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands. ~ Baruch Levy in a letter to Karl Marx.

Gentiles exist only to serve Jews as slaves. Goyim were only born to serve us. Without that they have no place in the world. Only to serve the people of Israel. Why are gentiles needed? They are only here to work. They will work, they will plow. They will reap. We will sit like effendi and eat. That is why gentiles were created,” Rabbi Yosef, Sha Party, Jerusalem Post, 2011

**********

"An example of the use of the Jewish code words Esau and Jacob is found in a sermon preached by Rabbi Leon Spitz during the Purim observances in 1946 (quoted here from the American Hebrew of March 1, 1946) : "Let Esau whine and wail and protest to the civilized world, and let Jacob raise his hand to fight the good fight. The anti-Semite . . . understands but one language, and he must be dealt with on his own level. The Purim Jews stood up for their lives. American Jews, too. must come to grips with our contemporary anti-Semites. We must fill our jails with anti-Semitic gangsters. We must fill our insane asylums with anti-Semitic lunatics. We must combat every alien. Jew-hater. We must Harass and prosecute our Jew-baiters to the extreme limits of the laws. We must humble and shame our anti-Semitic hoodlums to such an extent that none will wish or dare to become (their) 'fellow-travelers'.

**********

This is what Trotsky, a Jew, was preparing for the Russians for the implementation of Communism, which Marx based on the Babylonian Talmud for Gentiles:

"We should turn Her (Russia) into a desert populated with white Niggers. We will impose upon them such a tyranny that was never dreamt by the most hideous despots of the East. The peculiar trait of that tyranny is that it will be enacted from the left rather than the right and it will be red rather than white in color.

Its color will be red literally because we would spill such torrents of blood that they will pale all human losses of the capitalist wars and make the survivors shudder.

Remember my children, that all the earth must belong to us Jews, and that the gentiles, being mere excrements of animals, must possess nothing. ~ Mayer Amschel Rothschild on his deathbed, 1812

The largest overseas banks will cooperate with us most closely. If we win the Revolution and squash Russia, on the funeral pyres of its remains we will strengthen the power of Zionism and become a power the whole world would drop in the face of on its knees. We will show the world what real power means.

By way of terror and blood baths we will bring the Russian intelligentsia into a state of total stupor, to idiocy, to the animal state of being. So far our young men dressed in leather ~ the sons of watch repair men from Odessa and Orsha, Gomel and Vinnitza ~ oh, how beautifully, how brilliantly do they master hatred of everything Russian! With what a great delight do they physically destroy the Russian intelligentsia ~ officers, engineers, teachers, priests, generals, agronomists, academicians, writers!" ~ Secret Forces in History of Russia. U.K. Begunov 1995, p 148

One of the finest things ever done by the mob was the Crucifixion of Christ. Intellectually it was a splendid gesture. But trust the mob to bungle the job. If I’d had charge of executing Christ, I’d have handled it differently. You see, what I’d have done was had him shipped to Rome and fed him to the lions. They could never have made a saviour out of mincemeat!”~ Rabbi Ben Hecht

"You have not begun to appreciate the depth of our guilt. We are intruders. We are subverters. We have taken your natural world, your ideals, your destiny, and played havoc with them. We have been at the bottom of not merely the latest Great War, but of every other major revolution in your history.

We have brought discord and confusion and frustration into your personal and public life. We are still doing it. No one can tell how long we shall go on doing it. Who knows what great and glorious destiny might have been yours if we had left you alone." ~ Marclis Eli Ravage, Century Magazine February, 1926.

Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property (that’s you and your children) in a national system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a charge back for our fiat paper currency.

Every American will be forced to register or suffer being able to work and earn a living. They will be our chattels (property) and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading (Birth Certificate) to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, secured by their pledges.

They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one or two should figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability.

After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debts to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges. This will inevitably reap us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor to this fraud, which we will call “Social Insurance.”

Without realizing it, every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and we will employ the high office (presidency) of our dummy corporation (USA) to foment this plot against America.” ~ American traitor, the Jew Edward Mandell House giving a very detailed outline of the New World Order plans that were to be implemented gradually over time to enslave the American people ... A PLAN THAT HAS BEEN REPEATED IN CANADA, AUSTRALIA, BRITAIN AND ELSEWHERE.

Sorry I didn't pop out of a soda-pop ad, and life is just one big fucking cabaret, because a lot of what propelled Van Halen, what compels me and propels me is precisely this element. It's fury. If you approach me with anti-Semetic preconceptions, I'm not here to re-educate. I come from a whole different school of thought. If you don't get it on the first try, fuck you.

"Every step I took on that stage was smashing some Jew-hating, lousy punk ever deeper into the deck. Every step. I jumped higher 'cause I knew there was going to be more impact when I hit those boards. And if you were even vaguely anti-Semetic, you were under my wheels, motherfucker. That's where the lyrics came from, that's where the body language came from, that's where the humor came from, and where the fuck you came from. All equally as important. You want to know the ingredients? Don't ask if you don't want to know.

"What you get from repression and what you get from hatred is fury, and fury was one of the main trigger points for the great Van Halen. What you see now is a bunch of buffoons waddling around at the family barbecue, and their wives admonishing the children saying, "Don't worry, Daddy's just had a few too many Coors Lights and he's imitating what he used to do for a living when he played music, honey."

"What's missing is the testosterone. What's missing is the fury. What's missing is the passionate convicted commitment. And I got a lot of mine from my religious background.

Sen. Al Franken: One of the widely disseminated stories was that no Jews died in the collapse of the Trade Towers because they had received calls telling them not to go to work that day.

To tell you the truth, I got the Jew call. I had an office in the Trade Center where I used to do most of my writing. The call came from former New York mayor Ed Koch. “Al,” he told me, “don’t go to work on the twenty-third day of Elul [September 11, 2001.].”

Tell me, do the evil men of this world have a bad time? They hunt and catch whatever they feel like eating. They don’t suffer from indigestion and are not punished by Heaven. I want Israel to join that club. Maybe the world will then at last begin to fear us…Maybe they will start to tremble, to fear our madness instead of admiring our nobility. Let them tremble, let them call us a mad state.
